Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told Western allies that reports about the death of Republican support for further involvement by the U.S. in the Russia-Ukraine war have been “greatly exaggerated.”

McConnell delivered the remark on Friday at the Munich Security Conference that assembled heads of state, politicians, military officers, as well as security experts across the world. This year, nearly 50 lawmakers from House and Senate traveled to Germany for the three-day annual security conference, as part of the efforts to show bipartisan support for U.S. aid to Ukraine.
